Big Time Rush

August 09, 2012

Remember before One Direction, when another boy band — Big Time Rush — ruled the roost with a gold album, hit TV show and sold-out concert at Allentown Fair?

Wait, that was just last year? Well, then don't give up so quickly on Big Time Rush. Its second album, "Elevate," released in November, did exactly that to the group's sound — updating it with electropop, urban pop, synthpop and rock, even it didn't sell as well as the band's debut disc.

The TV show has been renewed for a third season, though it's switched to Monday nights for the summer.
